I remember when you were only seventeen
Cadd9 G
You were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen
Em C

Em C D
This scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadour

You were wonderful you were mystical and the envy of all of my friends

Seems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach

Oh what a time it was what a time to be alive

Em C
Your daddy had plans that did not include me
Em C
And he won't stay away from your door
Em C
And I dreamed how I dreamed I could steal you away

To some far off distant shore
verse 3
Cadd9 G
Then early one morning I awoke to find you gone
Cadd9 G
You wrote 'I love you baby but it's time for me to move on'
Em C
And so my teenage heart laid scattered on the floor
Em C D
I swear to God I could not have loved you anymore
G D
And as I sit here tonight playing with my kids wondering
Em C
Where you are in this world
G D Em
C
Did you find your man are you happy now do you ever stop and think about me
G D C G
How I long for yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach
